British Millennium 1000 Remarkable Years of Incident and Achievement

For almost 900 years, from 1066 to the mid-20th century, Britain was physically separated from the rest of Europe. The Channel was narrow enough to allow early trade with near neighbors, but wide enough to make it impossible for any army, no matter how strong, to invade, & the British Isles remained inviolate & unplundered. This remarkable book, issued by The Hulton Getty Picture Collection, provides a comprehensive visual documentation of the past millennium in British history. Each page is filled with photographs & illustrations that bring the people, places & events to life -- there are over 1,000 color & B&W illustrations. Also includes maps & timelines.Yapp, Nick is the author of 'British Millennium 1000 Remarkable Years of Incident and Achievement' with ISBN 9780756767006 and ISBN 0756767008.
